The dream of a quantum internet—a network where information is transmitted through fragile quantum states—has taken a major step forward. Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have demonstrated that quantum signals can travel across Verizon’s existing fiber network while using the same standard Internet Protocol (IP) that powers today’s web. By combining classical and quantum signals into a single hybrid...
Scientists Develop Atom-Thin Material to Cut Memory Chip Power by 90%
Swedish scientists at Chalmers University of Technology have engineered an atom-thin magnetic material that could cut the power consumption of memory chips by up to 90 %. This could be a turning point for energy-efficient electronics, where every watt saved matters. At its core, the innovation combines two opposing magnetic orders in a single ultra-thin layer, enabling memory states to...
